Moffitt Pearls 1.17.18 – Severe Eosinophilia

Thank you to Vaibhav for making an appearance while on the lung consult service to present a diagnostic mystery! He presented the case of a middle aged man presenting with 4-6 weeks of HA, night sweats and cough who was found to have severe eosinophilia > 5,000!! We never did identify the cause of this patient’s elevated eos, however given recent travel he was treated with albendazole despite negative serology tests for parasitic infections. While on therapy and without steroids his eosinophilia gradually improved.
